# issueInvoice

mutation · in the family [Selling](/reference/selling/)

## What it does

Issue the invoice for an order — the formal bill.

ISSUE an Invoice against a placed/completed Order: lines ⊆ the un-invoiced remainder read off the Order's OWN invoicedQty rollup stamps (omitted = the FULL remainder; an all-zero remainder refuses VALIDATION/INVALID — nothing to invoice); money figures prorate by cumulative telescoping (EXACT — a full invoicing sums to the order figures per component); taxMode captures explicit. ONE transaction: the invoice create + the Order rollup stamp under the Order's OCC. The org must be ACTIVE.

## Careful

An issued invoice is a numbered financial document — corrections happen by credit/debit note, not by editing.

## Who may call it

## Arguments

| Name | Type | Required | Notes |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `input` | [IssueInvoiceInput](/types/IssueInvoiceInput/) `IssueInvoiceInput!` | yes | No further notes. |

## Returns

[Invoice](/types/Invoice/) `Invoice!` — A sales Invoice — the billing/revenue-recognition document generated from an Order: an IMMUTABLE line snapshot at issue (captured prices/discounts/tax COPY, telescoping-prorated exactly for the 1..N partial model — a full invoicing sums to the order figures EXACTLY). One order → one-or-many invoices. Born issued by the bespoke issueInvoice op; corrections are NEW CreditNote/DebitNote documents, NEVER an edit — no update surface exists. The GAAP recognition trail is reports-only; the three rollup vectors are ANIMATED derived read-models.
